I'm not talking about same hardware either, but talking about comparable hardware.
The issue is that we are talking consoles here.
You either have the exact same hardware (albeit smaller if built on a smaller fabrication process) or you have something that can emulate the hardware, which usually requires you have something that is significantly more powerful.
And if you want this thing to support all the games on the PS4 now, then you have 3 options.
- the devs are going to go and do some extensive work on all their games to make them support some new exotic hardware
- you brute force your way through it by having much much much more powerful hardware in the handheld than whats in the PS4 now so you can emulate it so the devs won't have to do anything
- you basically take the APU, memory config (size and bandwith) that we have in the PS4slim today and somehow get all that to fit in something about the size of the NS. with a power draw no more than 15-17W unless you want to play untethered for 30mins at a time.
I'm sorry, but thats just impossible in 2-3yrs when 7/10nm chipsenter the market. Maybe in 2023-2025 when we may have 3/4nm chips.
